This article proposes a methodology for modeling magnetic anisotropy in ferromagnetic materials. This approach was initially used to represent the isothermal remanent magnetization (IRM) acquired by natural mineral assemblages and based on the use of the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of a probability density function (PDF). For the purpose of this work, the anisotropy of electrical steel ...Show More
In this work the magnetic anisotropy phenomenon in ferromagnetic materials was modeled using Orientation Distribution Function (ODF). The ODF is a concept that can be used to model the first magnetization curve of electrical steel sheet along any magnetization direction. The model is inserted in a 2D Finite Element (FE) field calculation software with vector magnetic potential formulation. Aspects...Show More
